Abstract: The African Growth and
Opportunity Act (AGOA) was adopted
by the United States with the enactment
of the Trade and Development Act of

of AGOA are (1) to provide for extension

quantitative limits from the countries of
sub-Saharan Africa.
For preferential treatment under
AGOA, the exporter is required to
prepare a certificate of origin and
provide it to the importer. The
certificate of origin includes information
such as contact information for the
importer, exporter and producer; the
basis for which preferential treatment is
claimed; and a description of the
imported merchandise. The importers
are required to have the certificate in
their possession at the time of the claim,
and to provide it to Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) upon request. The
collection of this information is
provided for in 19 CFR 10.214, 10.215,
and 10.216.
Instructions for complying with this
regulation are posted on CBP.gov Web
site at: https://www.cbp.gov/trade/
